Abstract: The major federally funded community service and volunteer programs in this country are authorized under two statutes: The National and Community Service Act of 1990 (*NCSA), and the Domestic Volunteer Service Act of 1973 (DVSA). On April 9, 2002, the President released "Principles and Reforms for a Citizen Service Act," to guide the reauthorization of NCSA and DVSA. H.R. 4854 is based on the President's principles for reforming and enhancing these programs. This report provides selected highlights of H.R. 4854.
